Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former NIAID director and face of America’s disastrous COVID response, finally appeared under subpoena Wednesday morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Fauci REFUSED to testify pleading the 5th Amendment out of the gate.
The hearing, titled “Testimony of Anthony Fauci,” began at 8:30 a.m. ET on July 29 in Room SD-342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building, according to the official committee notice.
Committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had to force him there. After months of negotiations, Fauci agreed to testify, then backed out. Paul issued the subpoena. “He will testify in July,” Paul announced. Accountability is coming.
But Fauci refused to testify.
The monster is guilty as sin.
During the hearing after Senator Paul was finished with his questioning, Fauci’s unruly attorney decided to take over the hearing. Senator Paul told him he was unrecognized and must remain silent.
The attorney would not listen and Paul had him removed from the room!
The entire hearing room started applauding!
Senator Rand Paul: You’re not recognized! You’re not recognized! If you are unruly, you will be removed from the proceeding. You are not recognized. And you are not recognized, sir. Sir, you are not recognized. You are not recognized. Security. We’ll hold off, but you will respect these proceedings.
You were told not to sit at the table. You insisted on sitting at the table, and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir.
You are being disruptive. Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can’t do that today, but I can have you escorted from the premises. So I would say, sir, sit quietly and don’t say another word. I said sit quietly. You are not recognized. Another word and you’re gone…
…He is not recognized by the committee or the chair. If he speaks again, he will be removed from the room. This testimony is from Anthony Fauci. This is not a game with his lawyers. He can advise, his lawyers can give him advice. He’s got a half dozen here. They are all allowed to talk to him. Yes. All right. But the attorneys are not recognized. In fact, the attorney was told not to sit at the table and he’s not obeying that recommendation.
There’s a row behind you, sir. That’s where you were told to sit and you’re not. And now you’re disrupting the proceedings. And so, look, this is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered, for a lawyer not listening to the rules. That’s the way you want to be remembered. And that’s what you’re going to do.
You are not recognized, sir. Security, please remove him from the room. Mm-hmm. Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today.
